Let me be flamed for this comment but the reason I bought the Z to begin with was because I knew I could change the front end (stock front end on a base/sport is horrendous IMO). I always loved the looks of the Nismo. Not completely like the Zele or PowerHouse, but damn close. I just don't want to deal with body shops anymore. The body should be as complete as it can come from the factory. I'll mod anything else.
As for other mods, if it becomes a garage queen then it'll get the FI TT kit and then some. Problem I had with my Touring/Base is that I kept buying and immediately selling the crap I bought for it. Why? Because I never really wanted the damn car to begin with. Always wanted that stupid Nismo. And for some reason, I like the badge. Whatever. lol. I'm going to call them and give them a number and see if we can meet somewhere at a reasonable point. If not, I'll keep looking. I can easily install a nice stereo and have the wheels powder coated GM or Black so a '13 isn't necessary. But I won't go any older due to lack of stock oil cooler which does actually help quite a bit.
If anyone sees any other Nismos especially in Virginia or the East Coast area in Black, Red, or GM that are around $32-35k, hit me up. Thanks.
